In a small country like Singapore, it's hard to find a good bargain. I'm dying for an upgrade from my M515, at the right price, but your article tells me it's wiser to procastinate a bit longer ;-) May be somebody can suggest when is the T5 a good buy despite its shortcomings? It was announced at US$420. It's now retails for $350, or with the bundled wifi offering, $410.

I guess it's common practice elsewhere. Rather than discount (or reduce) the retail price, they bundle the product with accessories, SD cards, leather case, wifi card, etc. Well, myself, I'm the type that goes for OEM accessories. Like on my M515, very satisfied with my Cross stylus. And of course, the TravelPac sync/charger cable.
